Site work for a water / sewer project in Columbus, Indiana. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The project consists of the preparation of a preliminary design summary for the upgrade of the 8th Street and Clifty lift stations followed by the development of construction drawings and specifications. The Clifty lift station receives flow from a large gravity sewer area as well as three remote lift stations outside the City limits. The lift stations pumping to the Clifty lift station are being upgraded to increase capacity in 2024, and there are potential growth areas in the Clifty lift station basin. The 8th Street lift station receives flow from the area shown in the attached figure, which has seen significant residential growth over the past 8 years. The 8th Street lift station also receives flow from Driftwood Utilities, which has a new significant industrial user. Both lift stations included in this project are regional, triplex stations and should meet CCU lift station standards. Key items to be included as part of the preliminary design are the following: 1.Review of level data and pump run times provided by Columbus City Utilities 2.Review of potential growth areas in each lift station basin 3.Recommended pump sizing 4.Recommended electrical upgrades After the completion of the preliminary design, construction drawings and specifications will be developed. The Scope of Services should include detailed design and contractor procurement assistance. The contractor procurement is anticipated to be through a Guaranteed Savings Contract or Build Operate Transfer contract. Construction Start: December 2025 The design services will be funded through a Bond Anticipation Note, and project construction will be funded through either the Indiana State Revolving Fund Loan Program or a private bond.
